About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Old Slave Cemetery is on private property and is not easily accessed; there is no road to it. Looking for contact number.

Believed to be the final resting place of hundreds of souls, only a few dozen identifiable markers remain. There are many large pieces of sandstone and many rock-lined cairns in this cemetery.

Death certificate for Martha Billingslea indicates that the cemetery may have once been known as St Johns Cemetery.
